On a monthly basis, PADRE offers specialized classes that assist in managing Type 1 diabetes. Many of our classes are also taught in Spanish. Classes serve children and adolescents throughout Orange County and other Southern California areas. They are taught by CHOC Children's Hospital Diabetes Team and include Certified Diabetes Educators and Registered Dieticians, as well as physicians and psychologists. All classes are provided at no cost.

The Advanced Pump Class is for those who already have the pump and want hands ­on training.
